accutron repairBulova Accutron Repair and
Restoration is our SPECIALTY including Accutron case repair, re-plating services and dial
or chapter ring restoration. We receive approximately 1,000
vintage Accutron 214, 218 and 2242 (AccuQuartz), model watches each year. Bulova has been
recommending Old Father Time for their vintage Accutron repair since 1995. And
when the owner of the Bulova Corporation needed his personal vintage watch
repaired, it was sent to Old Father Time. That's why we've been
"The
AUTHORITY ON ACCUTRON
Repair"
since 1995. Vintage Bulova

Our staff of
watchmakers is highly skilled and is either a certified or Master watchmaking
professional. We've received specific Accutron repair training from Bulova's
Master Watchmakers and trainers many years ago. Our watchmakers attend continuing
education classes either at AWCI or WOSTEP.

Because of our relationship with Bulova, we've
purchased their remaining stock of all vintage 214 & 218
Accutron repair parts.

Our Accutron Repair Process:We provide aMail
In Accutron Repair Formfor
your convenience. Once your watch arrives it is locked in
a secured location with fire and theft monitoring 24 hours/day.
Within 4-5 days following arrival, a skilled Accutron repair
watchmaker will diagnose your Accutron and we'll provide a
detailed, written evaluation with instructions of how
proceed. We accept many forms of payment including
Personal Check, Credit/Debit Card &E-Check.
Payment is not applied until we have a clear shipping date for
your Accutron. At that time you'll be notified that we
expect to ship your Accutron within the next 7-10 days. We
notify you again when your Accutron is packaged for shipment,
AND provide Tracking information. We then ship repaired
Accutrons by 2nd Day Federal Express with special Jeweler's
insurance for high-value items.

Unlike many repairers, we chargeNo
Additional FEESfor
restoration of individual Accutron case backs, pushers, crowns,
or battery door components & locking rings. When we quote
case restoration, the price is "all inclusive". If
you add the hobbyists' costs for all the various components of
an Accutron case, you'd far exceed our cost for case
restoration.

Bulova called Old Father Time to buy theirremaining
Vintage Accutron Repair parts inventory. That gives us
quite an advantage when repairing or restoring these great
tuning fork timepieces "correctly". We're able to use
new/old stock parts instead of cannibalizing one 50-year-old
Accutron to repair another.

Hobbyistswill typically scour the internet hawking their
need for old, used components to install in "Your" watch.
Every week we receive Accutron watches for "re-repair" that a
hobbyist has ruined. Usually the Accutron owner is so
upset they refuse to contact the hobbyist again to try to remedy
the problems. We find all sorts of wrong parts or
procedures when we open these watches -- most are not even
cleaned.

We're now receiving so many of these
hobbyist "jobs" that, depending on the severity, our watchmakers
are beginning to refuse acceptance of them. But it's very hard
not to sympathize with Accutron owners' issues. They were
promised quality Accutron repair with genuine Accutron OEM parts
and claims of being an "expert" in repairing Accutron watches,
and all at cheap, cheap prices. Right....

We offer many types of case Accutron repair and re-plating services along with
authentic Accutron Spaceview crystals during repair. We use only factory-correct,
new/old stock Accutron components or newly manufactured factory Accutron parts
(such as crystals), from Bulova. As a Bulova Accutron Dealer and service provider we're able to offer
many authentic Accutron repair components not available anywhere else.
Bulova allowed OFT to purchase
thousands of vintage Accutron repair parts. It's important that your Accutron
watch be repaired by a competent, professional watchmaker,
with the correct parts, tools, equipment & training.

Unfortunately,
coils are in very short supply. For that reason, we
install them only in watches receiving a "Full Restoration".
Luckily coils are needed in only a small fraction of the Accutron repairs we receive.

Packing & Shipping Your Accutron for RepairPack

Accutron repair is a delicate process requiring specialized knowledge,
skills and equipment. Most often, hobbyists don't possess any of them.
We are AWCI Trained Watchmakers. We've also been trained by Bulova
Accutron Repair Trainers many years ago. We do not employ hobbyists. We do
not send your Accutron out to be repaired by someone else.
